It seems like merely standing and reading is strenuous for him now.
That's because he's very sick, and his metabolism is no longer functioning. And that adolescent diet he ingests only makes it worse. It destroys his energy level and immune response.
His entire head is clogging up now. Trust me, he has a headache ALL the time.
The sinus infections have settled in and the skin on his face is now getting sclerotic. His cheeks have hardened and no longer have fine motor movements. It's as if he's wearing a leather mask.
His nasty right sinus has surely been draining into his mouth, and now there is something wrong with his lower jaw on that side. It may be a bad tooth down there, but I would bet a Benjamin that he has a calcium stone in his right maxillary salivary duct. That's a predictable consequence of long term strep infection, and they are impossible to feel until they try to get out.
Anyhow, that's what I think is going on in this clip of him slurring.
The stone moved, pinched the nerve in his jaw, and paralyzed his tongue for a moment.
You can see him gag and twitch and try to move it subtly. Here's a different video, made weeks before, when I first noticed this twitch. (0:35)
Most people assumed it was dentures, but neglected the fact he's too vain to even consider them. He has classy implants and veneers.
The rest assume it was a stroke or dementia, but it was clearly transient dysarthria and not memory related.
(For the record- Yeah- been here done this too)
Edit 12/12: more babbling...
I like that second clip a lot. He's very bloated that day and laboring to speak. The interesting thing is how disciplined he is in his face control. He has certain poses he adopts when he's in distress- which is almost always, because he can't breathe through his nose...
He usually uses shouting as a reason to gasp and mouth breathe.It's really a very choreographed set of actions.
There's a "strong jaw" face- clamps his front teeth together so the molars are not touching. Opens mouth slightly to breathe. (1:10)
The duck face relieves pinched nerves in the nose, and that overdone grin relieves stress on the jaw muscle that he likes to clench so much.
I think he considers himself a great actor.
I have always considered him a very advanced form of a pull string "See and Say" toy- trigger him with a word, and he comes up with a canned response...
Anyhow,
I have now decided that he imposes this rigorous mask regimen on Ivanka and Melania too. Their faces never move and you can never see them breathe.
